A diverse housing market with multi-family options
The local housing market spans a variety of price points and styles. “You’ll find a lot of townhomes and condos in Mission Viejo,” says Michael Marino, a local Realtor with Quality Living. “It’s a great entry point for first-time buyers who aren’t quite ready for a single-family home. And for single-family, there are larger lot sizes here compared to some of the newly developed neighborhoods farther east.” Most houses were built throughout the 1970s and early ‘80s, including brick ranch-style homes, split-levels and modern traditional builds. For condos and townhouses, price tags start in the upper $200,000s and reach the low $400,000s, while stand-alone homes range from the mid-$300,000s to the upper $600,000s.
Ranch-style homes are common in the area.
Most single-family homes have attached, two-car garages.

Top notch public schools and the local library
Mission Viejo is served by the highly rated Cherry Creek School District. “The district has always been highly sought after,” says Marino. “People with kids specifically seek out this area for the schools.” Mission Viejo Elementary is within a short walk of most homes, while Laredo Middle and Smoky Hill High are in the nearby Shenandoah neighborhood. Cherry Creek is known for its STEM and career-based learning initiatives, with high schools offering career and technical education programs in areas like health sciences and design and multimedia arts. The Mission Viejo Library sits on the neighborhood’s west end and hosts a variety of events and programs, including story times, craft workshops, Dungeons & Dragons club and expert presentations.
Mission Viejo Elementary School teaches neighborhood students in grades K-5.
The community is served by the Cherry Creek School District.
Local students can finish their K-12 education at Smoky Hill High School.

A voluntary homeowners association
The Mission Viejo Homeowners Association runs an opt-in system, without mandatory dues for non-members. All owners must follow the HOA’s covenants, which include keeping front yards landscaped and well maintained, and keeping campers and trailers in garages or in covered areas not visible from the street. There are regular community events throughout the year, including an annual plant and seed swap hosted by the Mission Viejo Garden Club.
Nearby parks and outdoor amenities
When you live in Mission Viejo, wide-open green spaces are in nearly every direction. “In Colorado, our lottery money goes towards parks,” says Marino, “and a lot of neighborhoods on this side of town have large, open space parks.” Mission Viejo Park has baseball diamonds, picnic tables, open space and a playground, while the nearby La Parquita Park offers tennis and pickleball courts. Greenbelts and trails sit between the neighborhood’s residential pockets, providing walkability to neighbors, parks and schools. “Cherry Creek State Park sits in a bowl just off of I-225,” Marino says. “It’s one of the prettiest parks that we have in Colorado, with a reservoir that allows motorized boats.” You could spend weeks in the park without running out of new things to do, with activities like:
Fishing for walleye and trout in the Cherry Creek Reservoir
Hiking or mountain biking along the park’s 35 miles of trails
Sunbathing and swimming from one of the sandy waterside beaches
Taking your dog for an afternoon romp in the 100-acre off-leash area
Mission Viejo Park offers many ways to play.
Locals can walk and ride their bikes on the neighborhood's well-maintained sidewalks.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have never had a problem with the weather. Storms don't generally seem like a big concern, and I for one enjoy when it gets exceptionally cold. For me it doesn't get all that cold out during the winter, which disappoints me.
